Yo,

I knew this girl named Alana with mad persona

She delt with reality never fed it to the drama

I met her through my nigga named Jermaine Palmer

Who knew her through his peoples by the Baltimore harbor

Alana was a Marylan' thurough and attractive

Shorty that's relaxed with me and kickin back

Wif a phat flick to cool out

Was stressed cause the game'll make you wanna pull a tool out

And go the old school route

But all-a that cease - when that piece checkin the jewel out

A bruver was charged - light a spliff and listen to the dabarge

Let the shorty hit me wif a massage to annoint

Lubricatin my maridian points that was the Summer easy to remember

Alana was all up on - to read the gender how I used to back bender

She even told her best friend Blinda from Virginia

Who asked me if I had a cousin I could recomend-a

But as time float on we grew more mature - and further apart

When I began to do tours, we lost contact

And slowly parted - reminissin of when it started

It keep me feelin heavy hearted - a stolen moment periodic

Addicted to her presence like a narcotic

Though I wonder if she ever got it - the hypnotic

That faded like a dream sequence that pursuaded

Beyond being infatuated - spiritually intoxicated

Comps are dated - I concentrated

On how to get in touch with her

Cuase the fact of the matter remain that I miss the hypnotic

Driftin ------- (driftin)

Driftin ------- (driftin)

I would begin to dial -

Her number but knowin it's been awhile it's hard to link

I figure what she probly think and soon start to drink
